LAS VEGAS -

A few months ago, Used Car Week began rolling out its social media plan, including the introduction of our official conference hashtags.

And if you read this post on Used Car Week’s “Behind the Scenes” blog summarizing that plan, you may still be recovering from laughter fits, courtesy of this Jimmy Fallon clip.

(So are we, by the way).

But we hope you’re also spending some time sharing your excitement for the Used Car Week conferences on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, and all of the niche social media sites that no one’s even heard of yet but will be the Next Big Thing.

And as you share and like and post and tweet, be sure to be a responsible hashtagger and use our official conference hashtags: 

CPO Forum: #EliteInventory

SubPrime Forum: #SpeakingFinance

Re3 Conference: #RevUptheTurn

National Remarketing Conference: #GreatIdeas

In addition to our hashtagging, Used Car Week has also rolled out its official, new-and-improved Facebook page.

Be sure to check it out for great attendees photos from 2013 (see if you can spot your pic!) and must-have info for this year’s event.

For even more daily updates on conference speakers, tips from industry insiders, fresh analysis and more, be sure to keep tabs on @UsedCarWeek on Twitter.

And stay tuned for even more social media fun throughout the various Used Car Week social media campaigns, presented by Equifax, as we get closer to November!
